EU Proposes Stricter Rules to Accelerate Deportations of Rejected Asylum Seekers

The European Commission's draft legislation aims to streamline deportation processes, introduce stricter measures, and establish regional return centers.

The EU Commission has presented a draft law to address inefficiencies in deporting rejected asylum seekers, with only 20% currently returned to their home countries.
Proposed measures include mandatory cooperation from those facing deportation and potential detention for individuals deemed security risks.
The legislation seeks mutual recognition of deportation orders across all EU member states to prevent rejected applicants from relocating within the bloc.
Plans include the potential establishment of return centers in third countries to house deportees awaiting repatriation, though legal challenges persist.
The proposal requires approval from the European Parliament and EU member states, with no clear timeline for implementation yet established.
